Kansas Lottery 300 QUOTES & NOTES: Kansas Speedway
Hefty®/Reynolds® Racing NOTES
Dover Recap…After starting from the 31st spot, Eric McClure faced a myriad of issues during Saturday’s event to post a 26th-place finish. As a result, the team slipped one position in NASCAR Owner Standings, while McClure was able to maintain his position (19th) in Driver Standings.
Hefty® Ultimate™ Sampling Launch…Beginning with this week’s simulator and show car appearances, the new Hefty® Ultimate™ waste bag, coupled with a $1 off coupon towards the purchase of a box, will be sampled until season’s end. All retailers participating in our simulator/show car program, except Lowe’s Home Improvement, will be sampling the new product.

Kansas Speedway Fast Facts…Saturday’s Kansas Lottery 300 will mark the 34-year-old driver’s 224th NASCAR Nationwide Series start and his seventh at the 1.5-mile speedway. In six starts, the Virginia native has completed 86.4% of the total laps attempted (1206) and has an average finish of 29.8. Last season with the help of two honorary teenage crew members who were battling a rare form of cancer, McClure not only matched his best qualifying effort of 15th, he went on to score a 15th-place finish, his best at the speedway. Since then, one of the young crew members lost his battle with cancer but will continue to remain in the hearts of the No. 14 team.
Chassis No. 12 …Crew chief Todd Myers has elected to utilize chassis No. 12 for this weekend’s Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway. This chassis was used two weeks ago at Kentucky Speedway where the team was credited with a 24th-place finish.
Personal Appearance… McClure will be making a personal appearance at WalMart 577 on Thursday, October 3 from 2:00pm – 4:00pm (ct). The store address is 13600 South Alden Street, Olathe, Kansas. Be sure to stop by and meet Eric and get a free Hefty® Ultimate™ waste bag sample.
Eric McClure Quotes… “I’m really looking forward to getting to Kansas this week. We ran well there last season. We struggled with the car’s set-up last week, but this is the car we run well with, so if we can keep from making a mistake getting too far behind where we can’t catch up, we have a good opportunity. Hopefully we will get back on-track this weekend and are able to get a good finish and meet our goal to end the year on a positive note.”

The creation of both the Reynolds® and Hefty® brands is the direct result of American ingenuity mixed with a bit of elbow grease. Reynolds Wrap® Foil was invented after the use of aluminum for military purposes diminished after World War II and became a new staple for American kitchens.
